Y'know, I'm just gonna go ahead and not believe that Oz was ever actually going to be Ozymandias. That was honestly never actually a thing in the stories and simply readers speculatin' about stuff like always. Looking back on his actions through the years, he was only ever truly fixated on Superman and his family and all that other Watchmen tie-in stuff was purely perfunctory. The only weird, non-Superman-related thing Oz did was to kidnap Tim Drake, but even that might make sense if you subscribe to the theory that the other person in his cells is going to end up being Conner Kent.

Mister Miracle was cool as gently caress, so of course my store didn't have any when I got there. It was the only comic I came there to physically buy, but whatever. The internet provides~ Detective Comics was predictable and not too entertaining with just how dour it was. Basil can't get their absolution the way they want because they did something awful and traumatizing to a loved one, Anarky (who isn't black anymore/is white again??) is painted as a condescending brocialist who has a terrible secret that somehow undermines the communist Utopia they built under a literal ground zero for a terrorist attack, and Stephanie storms off just before Bruce can explain that Tim's alive--a zealous AI that achieved omniscience said so--so you can stop being so darn irrational and falling in with the wrong crowd Metal was great. I remember explaining Darkseid War in another subforum and it melted a few brains, so I was glad to see Superwoman's baby Darkseid come back brandished as a weapon. It was just an incredibly bad idea to deliver the god of evil of one multiverse into the clutches of another, who didn't even need it to cripple the League's heavy hitters. Action Comics, much like Superman, sucked. Again. I hope Superman was embarrassed he didn't recognize his dad, who had been playing the role of phantom stranger for a long while, whose face he carved out of crystal. He can see in every spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, and he was foiled by a hood that cast a big shadow? Even Libra wore a mask! Besides, we all know that Clark is going to choose his adopted home over his parents, so where is the tension in this story? Whether DC decides to let Oz stick around after a few issues or not? howe_sam posted:Why is it that every time I read Superwoman it feels like I missed an issue? Thank God this isn't just me

This was probably from that solicit leak, but Olivier Coipel is off of interiors for Batman Lost  https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/09/13/batman-lost-coipel-bengal-gains-mahnke/ Dunbar posted:I'll be damned if I can understand any of it. Really? Any of it? I think I was laying it out pretty basically for you. As far as the details, when people do events like this that are deep dives into all of DC continuity, I'm not sure they're expecting everyone to be prepared. A lot of the fun of the DCU is the ridiculous size and history. Doing the research. Looking up some obscure blip that nobody's though of for 40 years. Just take "When Darkseid sent me back in time and the bat god saw me" at face value as a crazy old adventure. Actually reading Final Crisis wouldn't really make it any clearer  edit: CBR annotation guides for...

I just read Metal #2 and even though it is heavily steeped in DC history, it is steeped in DC history that I have actually read so am really loving it, but mostly I am loving it for how outrageous the whole thing. One thing Snyder did in his Batman run is try go over the top in ways that I thought didn't always fit in with Batman, but having a big epic event like Metal really plays into Snyder's tendencies to go big. He is just going balls out in this story line and it is great. One question though, who are all the Immortal people? I recognized Morgan, Ghul, and Vandal, but there was some guy with a chain around his neck and some old guy that I wasn't sure about.

I remember Cain being Vandal Savage came up during Infinite Crisis but I have never seen it referenced anywhere else since. I think Mary the Blood Queen was mentioned as being one of the Immortals but if so that would make her a lot "younger" than Ghul if you go according to I, Vampire chronology (which you should because the series was all kinds of awesome).

I thought his current host or person assuming the identity was black? But it would only be like the Nth New 52 character reverted to or usurped by their white pre-Flashpoint incarnation so whatever DC. He'd be younger than Ra's too so maybe it's not even him? Who is the Wizard's pet gimp, anyways? I like that a Batman Beyond reference got worked in, what with the particle collider that created Batmanium having a Powers name on it

Although Powers has been a family that was around when Gordon was Batman in the N52. Always loved how it harkened back to Batman Beyond.

People pissed that Superman is defending "liberal" values (lol) don't know much about history. There's a popular image from the 50's of Superman saying racism is unamerican. He helped bring down the KKK, he has roots steeped in socialism, his creators were (((((globalist jews)))) and even just a few years ago there was a short (non-canonical) story of Superman renouncing his U.S citizenship. Everytime these fucksticks crawl out from whatever rock they're living under, I think of the pages of Captain America. You all know the one I'm talking about. gently caress these guys. There's a special place in hell for people who try to coopt symbols of purity and goodness for their own twisted ends.

DC article on Priest taking over JL with an art preview. I was wondering if it was just a fill-in stint revealed in that leak. http://www.dccomics.com/blog/2017/09/15/a-watchtower-welcome-christopher-priest-climbs-aboard-justice-league?sf114402689=1 quote:Aliens. Super-villains. Costly mistakes. This December, the threats faced by the Justice League are more dangerous than ever. But never fear, the League is in good hands—Christopher Priest and Pete Woods'.

Man, looking back over Flashpoint and the New 52... there was a really cool concept with a Z-list villain in Flashpoint: electric guy, but he was in a raggedy costume because he was constantly on the run, because various countries wanted to capture him because he's basically a power source of IMMENSE potential, like a living super-generator. And then he's in the first arc of the New 52 Suicide Squad, where he is shot like two issues in by Deadshot to have a supervillain to blame for a big incident. And then he shows up again later to reveal some lazarus protocol or whatever only to then have his head explode to show the process was imperfect/dangerous. What I'm saying is, I think that Flashpoint was a story that was dumb but with good ideas, and was then followed by the New 52 which completely squandered what little good ideas there were.
